Lately, there's been too much noise in my mind, residual activity generated by the amount of information I absorb from social media, the internet, messaging apps, and various other sources. This is becoming increasingly difficult for me. My body is aging with difficulty, and my brain is becoming more and more hypersensitive to stimuli. It's not without its challenges to be autistic, bipolar, and have the "curse of intellectual ability." And that's not even mentioning the metabolic and autoimmune problems that seem to worsen with each passing year and month.
Honestly, I'm exhausted, not from activities, stimulation, or relationships anymore, but from the mere fact of having to stay alive every day. From eating and defecating to breathing and sleeping, it involves a lot of difficulties, worry, and time that I have to dedicate to it daily. The very basic functioning of my body takes a heavy toll every single day.
I can still do things—go out, walk, read, program, play guitar—but I can hardly work on anything very demanding for more than one or two hours at a time. Living like this is becoming a real nightmare. I'm a burden to my wife, I have very little work, and I don't even earn enough to buy the medication I need and my food (which is becoming increasingly restricted).
I see people on the internet romanticizing the fact of having autoimmune diseases and mental illnesses or conditions, and I wonder if they really have them and understand how awful it is to live like that.
Every achievement he has had, everything he has done throughout his life loses all meaning when he reaches this situation.
One of the things I'm considering is gradually reducing my digital activity or even quitting it altogether, but I don't do it completely because it's one of those things that keeps me entertained and prevents me from going out into the street with a chainsaw and attacking anyone who looks at me the wrong way.
Okay, enough complaining. Maybe I shouldn't even be saying this here, but this is a place where there are people like me with similar problems, and they'll be able to understand my current mood.
I'm not saying this to ask for sympathy or hugs. It's just like I have a fart stuck in my soul and I want someone to hear it so I can laugh a little at my misfortunes.
I'll think of things to share, anecdotes, lessons learned, stories, poems and tales I have saved, as if to rescue light things to compensate for the shit of anguish.

Bye..

El hipertiroidismo ocurre cuando la glándula tiroides produce demasiada tiroxina, la hormona responsable de regular muchas funciones corporales, incluyendo el ritmo cardíaco, la temperatura corporal, el crecimiento y los niveles de actividad. Por lo tanto, en casos de hipertiroidismo, el cuerpo pasa a estar "muy activo": palpitaciones, pérdida de peso, ansiedad, sudoración y a veces temblores.

(toot siguiente en el hilo)

Esto es lo que sufro cada día sin tratamiento o medicación para reducir la secreción de esta hormona, y sin tratamiento para aliviar los síntomas o a ayudar a reducir la actividad tiroidea.

Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland produces too much thyroxine, a hormone responsible for regulating many bodily functions, including heart rate, body temperature, growth, and activity levels. Therefore, in cases of hyperthyroidism, the body becomes "quickly active": palpitations, weight loss, anxiety, sweating, and sometimes tremors.

Millions of people in #Belarus and #Ukraine were and continue to be exposed to radioactive isotopes. #Cancer cases went up, I am part of that statistic as cancer survivor. #Thyroid gland disfunction has become commonplace, my wife can't function without a daily dose of levothyroxine. Birth defects went up in Belarus and all over Europe. Displacement of hundreds of thousands further accelerated centuries-long demographic decline of Belarus that started with the genocidal #ForgottenWar of 1654.

Somatic mutations are not only a crucial factor in cancer but can also be critical for #thyroid #autoimmune disease

Polyclonal selection of immune checkpoint mutations in thyroid autoimmunity - Nature

Our immune system contains multiple checkpoints to prevent the activation of self-reactive lymphocytes. How some lymphocytes escape these constraints to cause autoimmune disease remains poorly understood. A long-standing hypothesis posits that somatic mutations in immune-regulatory genes may enable self-reactive lymphocytes to bypass tolerance checkpoints1–3, but testing this has been challenging due to technical limitations. Here, we use whole-exome and targeted NanoSeq4,5, an accurate single-molecule DNA sequencing protocol, to comprehensively search for driver mutations in autoimmune thyroid disease. This revealed many B cell clones convergently acquiring loss-of-function mutations in the key immune checkpoint genes TNFRSF14 (HVEM) and CD274 (PD-L1), as well as less frequent mutations in other immune genes. In highly inflamed biopsies, we detected tens to hundreds of independent immune checkpoint mutant clones. Laser microdissection, methylation sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, immunostaining, single-nucleus DNA sequencing, and antibody synthesis localised these mutations to B cells, confirmed some to be self-reactive, and identified clones carrying multiple hits. We found widespread TNFRSF14 biallelic loss, and clones with as many as 4-6 driver mutations. Whilst each clone accounts for a small fraction of cells (typically <1%), the myriad mutant clones in each donor amounted to a substantial fraction of B cells harbouring driver mutations. Our results support the hypothesis that somatic mutations in autoimmune lymphocytes may allow them to escape tolerance constraints through a polyclonal cascade of somatic evolution, providing new insights into the molecular basis of autoimmune disease.
